Porto, Portugal (My Sportsbook) - Brazilian star Anderson will be out for FC Porto for the next three months after suffering a fracture to his right fibula during the team's 3-2 victory against Benfica on Saturday. Anderson was carried off on a stretcher in the 25th minute after a tackle with Benfica's Greek midfielder Konstantinos Katsouranis. After being substituted for, it was initially thought that his injury was far less severe. Subsequent tests revealed the fracture, which will require immediate surgery. Porto will be without the 18-year-old star for the rest of the UEFA Champions League Group G schedule. The Portuguese champions are currently third in Group G, two points behind second-place Arsenal.
